Abstract: As a new technology for targeted genome editing, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) have the advantages of easy operation, high editing efficiency, and support for multi-target editing, thus shown wide application prospects in plant genetic breeding. However, the process in plants relies mainly on Agrobacterium or particle bombardment-mediated genetictrans formation, which is time-consuming and species- and varieties-dependent. Virus-mediated plant genome editing has attracted extensive attention because of no need of genetic transformation and plant regeneration.In this review, we introduces the working principle and advantages of virus-mediated CRISPR/Cas plant genome editing technology, systematically summarizes the current application status of this technology in the field of plant genome editing, and focuses on discussing the problems and challenges of this technology system, aiming to provide reference for further research in this field.

Key words: virus, plant, genome editing, CRIPSR/Cas
